• Sharpening and Leveling in Communication

    justifiedI was invited by the Oklahoma Skeptics Society to speak at their monthly Skeptics in the Pub meeting for June. I decided to give a talk titled “Sharpening & Leveling: How good communication can lead you away from the truth.” It focused on how, in order for our communication to be considered justified and worthy, we often heighten certain aspects of information and drop out other aspects. The full audio and slides are below, thanks to the ever wonderful Damion for recording and putting this together.
